This review is from: Discovering Backgammon (Paperback)

Please note..this book (?pamphlet)is all of 48 pages long. It has zero helpful to say about strategy and tactics. It doesnt even list the optimal rollout moves EXCEPT FOR DOUBLES. It has a total of 2 very old backgammon problems. What little interest there is has to do with variations on the game as played in other countries.

1.0 out of 5 stars I'd give it zero stars if I could, July 3, 2000

This review is from: Discovering Backgammon (Paperback)

25 bucks for 48 pages? that's over 50 cents a page.

The author is making a killing off anyone gullible enough to buy it.
